The City Council of the City of Santa Ana held a duly noticed public hearing <br />on the above said actions for the Warner Avenue Improvement and <br />Widening Project from Main Street to Grand Avenue on September 1, 2015, <br />and at that time considered all testimony, written and oral. <br />H. The City Council also adopts as findings all facts presented in the Request <br />for Council Action dated September 1, 2015 accompanying this matter. <br />I. The City has prepared Findings of Fact in compliance with Public <br />Resources Code Sections 21081 and 21081.5 and CEQA Guidelines <br />Section 15091 for every significant impact of the Warner Avenue <br />Improvement and Widening Project from Main Street to Grand Avenue, <br />including an explanation of the rationale for each finding. <br />J. While the Draft EIR determined that most potential impacts could be <br />mitigated to a less than significant level, it did find that implementation of the <br />Warner Avenue Improvement and Widening Project from Main Street to <br />Grand Avenue would result in significant and unavoidable impacts related to <br />Noise during construction as well as Traffic Impacts during construction. <br />K.
